Ron,
Some years ago Martin Stoner, who was training me at the time,
encouraged me to imagine the wind blowing the stick and then position
it accordingly. Seems to work . Unfortunately he had a whoopsie some
years later when upended by a strong tailwind. Can't remember the
precise explanation -I think its in the Europa archives - but it may
have been the combination of strong tailwind - stick in the correct
position - and application of the monowheel brake.
